Craft: A Christmas Tree Extravaganza!

I was asked to put together a Christmas Tree for the Whatcom Museums "Old City Hall Holiday Extravaganza." I couldn't resist because Santa's going to be there which means lots of kids who love whimsy.

My Tree is called "Once a Upon a Time I Dreamed."

Garland: once upon a time I dreamed

The Christmas tree is going to be covered in all different paper dolls I have drawn and colored. The fun part is none of the dolls have faces so the purchaser of the tree will have to fill in all the faces with family and friends.

About Me

Welcome to my Blog! I graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City as a fashion designer. I worked in New York City for eight years in the fashion industry. After I had children, I moved from designing to working more with crafts and painting canvas. Today, my boys are in college and I am working, selling and exhibiting my work more than ever. I have a website where I teach crafts, painting, and sewing as well as My Etsy Store where you can buy my finished work.
